I loved the pool, It was 8-9 feet. Which is very fun to swim in. The rooms were spacious and everything was neat and comfortable. We didn't really talk with staff but they seemed nice as we were checking-in.

9/10 Wonderful! (999 reviews)
A front receptionist was repeatedly rude to the customers she managed over the phone. She was argumentative and denigrated her customers on the phone….including me. She argued with how I made my reservation - a phone call to Hilton reservations- she stated was made through a third party. That sort of rudeness required a re-think of her people-facing role. She became frustrated, her voices was raised, argumentative and simply rude. Never should she have access to customers.
